What she may lack in age, Emma makes up for in sass!
\nShe is in her second season with Ideal – but she has previous experience with an all-star gym in Illinois.
\n<\/p>\n

Since joining Ideal she has mastered her forward roll and cartwheel, as well as working towards a perfect round off and bridges. Emma loves cheer and aspires to grow throughout her career to older and higher level skills. She has a great attitude and works hard to truly master her current skills before pushing for something new. Because of this attitude we’ve seen Emma progress quicker than the average athlete. Being on the team has been instrumental for Emma’s social skills and learning to work for the good of the team. Like a true girly girl, she loves all of the sparkle and bling associated with our sport.<\/p>\n

\nAs a parent, Emma’s mom Stephany loves the physical activity, social interactions and development opportunities cheer provides her daughter. Her best advice to new parents is to understand the commitment is just as great for parents as athletes, but seeing the joy, love and excitement Emma has for the sport when she hits the mat at competition makes it all worth it! Unfortunately there are no comparable offerings near their home, so Stephany makes the drive (just over an hour one way) once a week to provide this opportunity for Emma. They try to take advantage of tumbling classes and private lessons as well before or after practice. Stephany wasn’t sure this would be a lifelong sport, but it has become apparent over the past 3 years that this is more than just an activity for Emma – and they plan on being involved in Ideal for the foreseeable future!<\/p>\n
